Recruited patients were invited to test and evaluate the selected apps. Secondly, identified apps were evaluated thanks to a scientific evaluation method and a created online questionnaire for patient feedback. Related medication adherence apps were identified and selected using predefined inclusion criteria. Firstly, an online questionnaire was developed to identify frequently used search terms by recruited patients. Search terms were identified via literature review and expertise. This study aims to develop a methodology for scientific and end-user (patient) mHealth evaluation (a) to identify medication adherence apps search terms, (b) to evaluate identified apps based on scientific criteria, and (c) to report best smartphone apps evaluated by patients. Yet, until today, there is insufficient evidence in favor of using mobile health (mHealth) apps to increase medication adherence. With the widespread use of mobile phones worldwide, medication adherence apps for mobile phones become promising medication adherence aids thanks to simplicity, user-friendliness, and accessibility for the public. 4Pharma24, An Academic Community Pharmacy and Living Lab Located at the Exit of the Geneva University Hospitals, Geneva, SwitzerlandĪdherence to prescribed medication is suboptimal in 50% of the chronic population, resulting in negative medical and economic outcomes.3Center for Primary Care and Public Health (Unisanté), University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.2Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences of Western Switzerland, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.1Lab of Medication Adherence and Interprofessionality, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland.Claudine Backes 1,2, Carla Moyano 2, Camille Rimaud 2, Christine Bienvenu 3 and Marie P.
